[Openstack] Server resize API in OpenStack ESSEX

The code scps the backing file for the instance to the new node via something along the lines of:
scp /var/lib/nova/instances/instance-xxx/disk <hostname>:/var/lib/nova/instances/instance-xxx/disk
So the hostname has to properly resolve to the ip of the target machine. You should see messages in the compute log about it trying to do this. The error message there might give you a better idea of what failed.

Yes resize will go through the scheduler and usually find a new compute node. The conf option does not force it to use the same host, so it is mostly just there for testing.

Even though the API is successful (202 Status code), on the Horizon GUI I could see that the Status is Error and the task state is Resize Prep. I am passing the Auth Token along with the Body information in the form of json as inputs to the API. I have referred this URI for passing the body information.
